3. A method for displaying a message, comprising: receiving, by a terminal, a first message posted by a user; obtaining, by the terminal, Location Based Service (LBS) information of the user associated with the first message, sending, by the terminal to a server, the first message and the LBS information associated with the first message; receiving, from the server, a second message and LBS information associated with the second message; and, displaying the second message and the LBS information associated with the second message to the user; wherein the server comprises a first server and a second server, the operation of receiving from the server the second message and the LBS information associated with the second message, and displaying the second message and the LBS information associated with the second message to the user comprises: sending to the first server a request for viewing the second message; receiving, from the first server, the second message and a message ID associated with the second message; sending to the second server the message ID associated with the second message; receiving the LBS information associated with the second message returned from the second server; and, displaying the second message and the LBS information associated with the second message to the user.

4. The method of claim 3 , after receiving the first message posted by the user, further comprising: querying the user whether it is allowable to add the LBS information associated with the first message to the first message; in response to receiving an approval instruction indicating that it is allowable to add the LBS information associated with the first message to the first message, obtaining the LBS information associated with the first message, and sending to the server the first message and the LBS information associated with the first message; and in response to receiving a denial instruction indicating that it is not allowable to add the LBS information associated with the first message to the first message, sending the first message to the server.

5. A server, comprising: a processing module, to receive, from a terminal, a message and Location Based Service (LBS) information associated with the message, and store the message and the LBS information associated with the message; and, a displaying module, to display, when receiving from a user of the terminal a request for viewing the message, the message and the LBS information associated with the message to the user through the terminal; wherein the processing module comprises: a first processing sub-module, to receive the message and the LBS information from the terminal, assign a message ID for the message, store the message and the message ID, and send to a second processing sub-module the message ID and the LBS information; and, the second processing sub-module, to store the message ID, the LBS information, and a corresponding relationship between the message ID and the LBS information; and the displaying module is further to, when receiving from the user the request for viewing the message, obtain, from the first processing sub-module, the message and the message ID; send the message and the message ID to the terminal; receive the message ID returned from the terminal; obtain, from the second processing sub-module, the LBS information according to the message ID and the corresponding relationship between the message ID and the LBS information; and, send the LBS information to the terminal.

6

6. The server of claim 5 , wherein the first processing sub-module is further to, if the message is received from the terminal but the LBS information associated with the message is not received, store the message; and, the displaying module is further to, when receiving from the user the request for viewing the message, return the message to the terminal.

7

7. A terminal, comprising: an obtaining module, to receive a first message posted by a user, obtain Location Based Service (LBS) information of the user associated with the first message, and send to a server the first message and the LBS information associated with the first message; and, a displaying module, to receive from the server a second message and LBS information associated with the second message, and display the second message and the LBS information associated with the second message to the user; wherein the server comprises a first server and a second server; the displaying module comprises: a requesting sub-module, to send to the first server a request for viewing the second message; and, a displaying sub-module, to receive, from the first server, the second message and a message ID associated with the second message, send to the second server the message ID associated with the second message, receive the LBS information associated with the second message returned from the second server, and display the second message and the LBS information associated with the second message to the user.

8

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the obtaining module is further to, after receiving the first message posted by the user, query the user whether it is allowable to add the LBS information associated with the first message to the first message, in response to receiving an approval instruction indicating that it is allowable to add the LBS information associated with the first message to the first message, obtain the LBS information associated with the first message, and send to the server the first message and the LBS information associated with the first message, and in response to receiving a denial instruction indicating that it is not allowable to add the LBS information associated with the first message to the first message, send the first message to the server.
